Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — incorrect question in english board exam for 10th standard

Address:

Agra, Uttar Pradesh, 282002

Today the students of tenth standard gave their english board exam. The third part of second question (Q. 2.3) of the reading section was completely incorrect. We had to find words similar to those in given paragraph but the numbering of paragraphs was wrong. We have tried our best to locate the words in given paragraphs but some students have gone against the one mentioned in the question paper. Will our marks gey reduced merely because we follwed the rules? This is shameful and students who are planning to go on the language and humanities side cannot afford to lose marks in english. The instructions should be very clear. Every student who attempted the question should get full marks. Please don't make us regret our decision of following instructions.
